US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that without Washington's help, Ukraine would not be able to maintain its existence as a sovereign state.
Modern.az reports that Rubio emphasized that this support was provided during both Joe Biden's and Donald Trump's administrations.
“We are no longer going to justify ourselves on this issue. Without the help of the United States, including the Trump administration, Ukraine would not exist now. Ukraine would not exist as a sovereign state,” the Secretary of State said.
Rubio said that the courage of the Ukrainian military should also be taken into account. According to him, Ukrainian soldiers fought with great courage for their country and achieved important results in the fight against a larger country thanks to the assistance provided.
“But we must say it clearly: without the billions of dollars in aid that the US provided during the Biden administration and continues to provide during the current administration, Ukraine would not exist today,” Rubio added.
